KIA Tigers completed the V12 by proving to be the strongest in professional baseball, which opened the era of 10 million spectators.
It was a perfect combined championship following the top spot in the regular season.
I'm thrilled to win for the first time in seven years since my 11th win in 2017. KIA also won the 12th Korean Series without breaking, continuing its unbeaten streak in the Korean Series. During the camp?慂Lee Bum-ho, the youngest coach of the 10 teams to take the helm of the team, was thrilled to become the winning coach in his first year after his debut by maximizing the skills of his players with his uninitiated 'brother leadership'.
KIA won 7-5 after a fierce battle in Game 5 of the Korean Series against Samsung at Gwangju Champions Field on the 28th, securing the championship with 4 wins and 1 loss.
KIA was replaced early by allowing five runs with only three home runs in two ⅔ innings, including starter Yang Hyun-jong allowing Diaz a two-run shot. However, he was determined to raise his toast in Game 5 when he returned to his home turf.
Trailed 1-5, but started chasing without giving up.
KIA, which chased Na Sung-bum's sacrifice fly with one out and runners on first and third in the first inning and Choi Hyung-woo's timely hit with one out and runners on first and third in the third inning, scored three points in the fifth inning and quickly brought the game to square one with 5-5. KIA, which fired a signal of pursuit with leadoff hitter Choi Hyung-woo's superior solo home run, tied the game with two runners who had automatic starts during Kim Yoon-soo's wild pitch in the full count of Kim Do-young's at-bat with two outs with three walks. In the sixth inning, with one out and runners on the first and third bases, Kim Tae-gun, the main character of the grand slam in Game 4, succeeded in turning the tables with an infield hit.
KIA, which failed a full base chance with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, faced a full base crisis with two outs in the top of the eighth inning. However, in Lee Jae-hyun's at-bat, he kept the lead by picking Jung Hae-young's card. In the bottom of the eighth inning, Park Chan-ho's timely double to left-center made it 7-5 with one out and one on the first base, and the match

On the mound, starter Yang Hyun-jong collapsed with five runs in two ⅓ innings, but there was a backup of pre-prepared 'Samsung Killers' Kim Do-hyun. Kim Do-hyun laid the groundwork for the upset with a hitless, scoreless perfect pitch with a fastball of more than 150km in two ⅓ innings. Left-hander Kwak Do-kyu, who allowed one hit and no runs in one inning in the sixth inning, which was tied at 5-5, helped him reach the top by winning relief until Game 5 following Game 1. Jang Hyun-sik, who took the mound in the seventh inning, allowed no runs in the first ⅓.
Jung Hae-young, who blocked the bases-loaded crisis with two outs in the eighth inning, became the hero of the thrilling victory ceremony with four batters without losing a point.
It was a feat achieved by the parent company, the club, and the field as a trinity. KIA set V12 as its goal for the season at the parent company level, and achieved a great achievement.
KIA suddenly put down the baton due to an unsavory incident just before the season, but quickly settled it and created a blessing in disguise.
Owner Song Ho-sung and CEO Choi Joon-young, who are in charge of the management of the parent company Kia, minimized power loss by providing quick support to the front of the club represented by Shim Jae-hak. KIA, which started as the best foreign pitcher duo but suffered from injuries, completed a great victory by firmly maintaining its first place in the regular season by moving quickly, including recruiting alternative foreigners.
